What the organisation receives
Facilitator-led delivery at your site or online, scheduled around your existing program calendar.
A personalised, visually based workbook for every attendee, theirs to keep.
Attendance, completion and statistical reporting generated from the SIRITIS case management system.
A close-out summary per cohort that your case managers can actually use.
What participants do
Participants build the plan themselves and learn to present it. Self-advocacy is taught explicitly: participants take ownership and speak for themselves, creating a practice they carry into every other service they touch.
Why this program exists
27×
detention rate
First Nations young people were 27 times as likely as non-Indigenous young people to be in detention in 2022–23, and around 84 per cent of those in detention were unsentenced — held before a matter is decided. Target 11, a 30 per cent cut in youth detention by 2031, recorded no change from its baseline in the July 2025 data.
